Jonny Gomes Punts Helmet As He Rounds Third to Celebrate Walk-Off Home Run (GIF)
Jonny Gomes was all kinds of fired up after his walk-off home run against the Rays. Why wouldn’t he be?
Gomes saved the Red Sox from spoiling Felix Doubront‘s stellar outing and rescued Andrew Bailey with his two-run blast in the bottom of the ninth. As he rounded third, the outfielder was so psyched, he took off his helmet and punted it into the air in celebration. After the...
No spark from Wil Myers in doubleheader sweep
Well, Wil Myers made his debut for the Rays Tuesday. Unfortunately, his bat did not. In a doubleheader in Boston against the Red Sox, the young rookie did not provide much offensive help.

UPTON HERE, UPTON THERE
B.J. and Justin Upton collide in the outfield
Aside from a hot April where Justin Upton hit .298 with 12 home runs, the Upton brothers have been hot garbage in Hotlanta this season, their first with the Braves. Justin has seen his average plummet to .247 overall and he has only hit three home runs since April 27. Brother B.J. has been worse, much much worse.

While an interesting analysis and one that reached the same conclusion as I did (we don't need Lee), what really caught my eye was his discussion of the 2014 starting pitching logjam.
Here's what Bernie had to say...
